You can download the editor in Steam, in your library select Tools from the drop down menu.

4# Football Manager 2012 Crashes – Crash To Desktop
FM 2012 crashes when you start the match in 3D. If it happens, make sure you have updated your video card drivers and your video card is supported by the game.

Another issue for the random crashes can be your internet security, so try running the game with all the antivirus, internet security softwares disabled. Or you can add Football Manager in the their exceptions list.

5# FM 2012 Freezes – Stuttering, Lag, Slow

6# Football Manager 2012 Slow Loading
Most of times slow loading can be attributed to the lack of physical memory available for the game. If you want smooth gameplay without hiccups, close all the applications and run the game solo. Make sure you meet the minimum system requirements.

7# FM 2012 Save File Corruption
Football Manager 2012 has a huge database of teams and assets. If you won’t save your progress appropriately you may end up with the short end of the stick – corrupting the database which cannot be repaired.

So, be careful before hand and always cautious when you save the game. Try to create a new save and save your progress every now and then instead of overwriting an old save. It’s just a cautious approach, you will also be fine with overwriting the save files.
